The Silver Lining thread

It looks like The Silver Lining (formerly known as King's Quest IX: Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining) will finally be released in Summer 2009. That is, if Vivindi Games (now merged with Activision) doesn't sit on its royal ass during the approval process. Unfortunately, only the first two chapters of The Silver Lining will be released. The remaining chapters (3-9) will most likely never see the light of day. According to the team, it would take 10 or more years to complete them without proper funding, which even if they had, would put their fan license in jeopardy.

It would be interesting to see if they ultimately decide to release the remaining chapters one at a time over the next few years. I hear that episodic gaming is doing fairly well...

SPOILER WARNING:

Well, that's a little sad for all you guys that it was so incredibly short after all these years of waiting.

that was very short. finished it in 20 minutes...

Are you absolutely sure it only took you 20 minutes? Because that would mean that it's almost as long as 'IWWHIIWWHITOMIROTPG', which would be extremely disappointing seeing as how that fan game only took about a week-and-a-half to make. So, I guess there isn't too much to worry about.

Update: I'm currently reading that the second episode will be much longer, and that 'What is Decreed Must Be' just serves as basically a re-introduction back into the King's Quest world.
